🔥WATCH: “My people used to write country songs about this and march with coal miners. Now look at us— singing the boss man’s praises, marching straight towards the cliff’s edge with smiles on.” TN’s own trae crowder on Trump & Elon’s DOGE rampage. FULL: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2P77fEy/

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Fuck Yes!!!!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

This is pure evil.

Holy shit. This was posted on Twitter yesterday BEFORE the crash.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I once read that every video game is just a list of to-dos. But I'll think about that later, after I've gathered enough berries for these goats. #anygame

I miss feeling like democracy was a given.

Privatizers push their narrative that our public schools are failing largely using “proficiency” to say most kids are behind — but how that is defined is the key. www.forbes.com/sites/peterg...

Me when I see a Tesla on the road. Plenty of great non Nazi EV alternatives.

If you think public attention to an issue and outcry doesn't matter, note that the Trump administration hasn't defied a court order (yet). Let's keep it up!

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

WATCH: “Cruel that we’re punishing kids… It’s heartless.” Rep. Gabby Salinas reacts to Tennessee Republicans Rep. William Lamberth & Sen. Bo Watson seeking to overturn Plyler v. Doe and stop undocumented kids from going to school. (Couple a real heroes🫤) Full: www.newschannel5.com/news/should-...

On @ezraklein’s ‘Don’t Believe Him’ article: “Trump is not all powerful. He wants you to believe he is, because that belief gives him power… the illusion of total control.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFu-19A...

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Only 1,443 more days to go.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

And the Democrats never said boo about it.

Said "What the fuck" more times in the last two weeks than I've ever said in my life.

There’s always something worth reading at The Big Picture. Which piece has stuck with you lately?

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

So this is what the downfall of a society is like. Gotta admit, this experience was not on my bucket list.

ICE just adopted new policies making it harder for Congress to prevent deportations, per memo leaked to me:

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

@gordonramseychef.bsky.social A show where I prepare multiple dishes as Chef Ramsey watches from behind but is forbidden from speaking

@repjasmine.bsky.social Just for future reference, professors aren't making any money either, are paid less than K-12 teachers in some districts, and post-tenure reviews are now routinely implemented - that is, if tenure is granted at all. (And I love you!) <3

I think of this video often. We shouldn’t be fighting the same fight. Waiting for comfort and decorum isn’t the way. Progress happens when you don’t stop.
